In response to the New Deal, what does the creation of a welfare state say about the changing priorities of the United States? Does this principle still hold today?.

Through the creation of a "welfare state" or a state with social safety nets such as those that were created under the New Deal it showed that the United States had a renewed focus on providing economic opportunities for its people especially in times of recession and depression. The priority today is in tact in some ways and under attack in others given that the Republicans and Democrats have very different views about the value or purpose of implementing welfare or social safety net programs.
